PHOENIX, August 23, 2023 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - The online skateboarding competition, Tony Hawk's Skatepark Hero, powered by Colossal, recently announced its winners and celebrated a successful fundraising effort. The event was more than a showcase of skateboarding skill; it was a celebration of creativity, purpose, and philanthropy within the global skateboarding community. Michael Manion, a lifelong skateboarder committed to building skateparks in Southern Georgia, was honored as the "People's Choice" winner. "Manion's dedication to taking the title exemplifies the profound impact skateboarding can have on individuals and communities," states the official release.

Robert Zamora clinched the "Tony's Pick" title, personally chosen by Tony Hawk for his technical and artistic skateboarding abilities.
